The exact reason why currently I don't have a Bomber on my goblin team. Hey their great fun but maths don't stack up IMO.

You fumble on a 1 or a 2, (a 1,2,3 if you are trying to throw over quick pass) so that's either a 1/3 or 1/2 chance that your thrower will have to do his 4+ to stay up.
Add in the drift factor - where exactly is that ball going to go? And its much to likely to knock one of your guys over.

Just to dangerous with not enough gain IMO.

But great for taking apart a cage for easy access to a ball carrier

Indeed, that's why you never take one on your roster and just induce Bomber Dribblesnot against teams that'll cage. The on-roster bomber is useless unless you roll a doubles and get some passing skills - he also skills up so slowly that it's not worth waiting. Bomber has accurate, even with loner that's miles better than an unskilled bombardier.
